Happy Mother's Day ~~

Not celebrated in the US until 1908, however, here are some Ancient Celebrations of Mother's and Motherhood.

- ancient Greeks celebrated a holiday in honor of Rhea, the mother of the gods

- ancient Romans celebrated a holiday in honor of Cybele, a mother goddess, March 22-25 - the celebrations were notorious enough that followers of Cybele were banished from Rome

- in the British Isles and Celtic Europe, the goddess Brigid, and later her successor St. Brigid, were honored with a spring Mother's Day, connected with the first milk of the ewes.

There is no one on this planet Earth that will love and care for you like a Mom.
She is our safe haven, our friend and confidant, and yes, at times.. she is a Mom who has our best interest at heart .. though we may not always want to hear what she has to say.

Daughters and Mothers... such a powerful connection.

Wishing all a safe, peaceful and loving Mother's Day.
